Not a high bandwidth user (not possible with iffy-Sify), but I use my bandwidth efficiently and effectively.<BR/><BR/>Clydes was good - was introduced to DT, KWS, Malmsteen, among others. Also unknown entities like Anathema. Ashok mostly keeps videos of concerts now.<BR/><BR/>DM is passe. Back to industrial and quirky music - System of a Down, Monster Magnet, Nine Inch Nails. Some Bjork too. Mostly the kind of music that makes you laugh at the abrupt changes in tempo.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the suggestions. I'm always on the lookout for something new. Am still searching for Blur's psychedellic live performances and 'Kare and the Caveman' (also known as Euroboys).Nikhil Pahwahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03693281110830585801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-1137539705665056402006-01-18T04:45:00.000+05:302006-01-18T04:45:00.000+05:30I'm surprised that no one has commented on how odd...I'm surprised that no one has commented on how odd it is that European art movies and 'seedies' are roughly in the same category, both for Palika bazaar and for the kids at the IIT hostel. <BR/><BR/>(Then again, some of those Pasolini films are definitely on the line...)Amardeep Singhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11408720639556886665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-1137521805666989802006-01-17T23:46:00.000+05:302006-01-17T23:46:00.000+05:30Screw the "seedies" (pun intended), me wanna see u...Screw the "seedies" (pun intended), me wanna see unshaven, lecherous Jai... ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-1137499255177697002006-01-17T17:30:00.000+05:302006-01-17T17:30:00.000+05:30go pick up The Mars Volta.

Unlike me, if you are into DM then it is the place to be. but the guy there has lots of other stuff too. the late 80s and early 90s thing. you will have to be specific.<BR/><BR/>Then you have two more places-'Sur Sangam'(i'm in bombay & last i heard was that it had shifted to GK-1. but give it a try, it might be there). and one shop very close to 'Sur Sangam' (can't recall the name, ask around). my sister picked up the whole Death Cab for Cutie & Wilco catalogue couple of months back. Shop #17 or something. he has some amazing 'indie' stuff. all in mp3 format, which makes it even better. his whole collection is databased on a comp. so it's very easy to locate the music you want.whitelighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12712723381825195447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-1137478361314932412006-01-17T11:42:00.000+05:302006-01-17T11:42:00.000+05:30My heart bleeds for you, Zhoy Orzoon.
